iOS5 Released Today and I can finally talk about it :)

iOS5 will be released to the public today and with it comes iMessage which is free text messages for everyone!! Plus many many more incredible features. It’s amazing but if you want to keep your jailbreak do not update.
To be honest I’ve been on iOS5 for months now as a developer but forbidden to talk about it under a Non Disclosure Act from Apple.
As it is officially launched today that NDA will lift and I can disclose just how cool it is. Im no longer Jailbroken because it gives me everything I want out of the box, plus with no Jailbreak it doesn’t crash or hang and the battery life is amazing.
My top 3 favourite additions -

iMessage – your iPhone knows if the person you are sending a message is on an iOS device that’s running iOS5 (that includes iPads and iPod touches) and if they are online via wifi or 3G it will send your message over the internet for free! You can see when it’s delivered, read (if you turn that feature on) and you can see when someone is typing a reply. Plus images and videos can be sent too all for free!!

Twitter – You can share anything from anywhere directly to Twitter as its built in to iOS. That includes photos, websites, map locations and videos.

Reminders – Ok I didn’t see the point of this at the beginning as I use my calendar religiously. However today I set a reminder to go off automatically when my phone knew I was at work, and it did! I then had a reminder to stop at the doctors after I had picked my son up from school and sure as hell as I drove out of the village my phone went off an reminded me to go to the doctors. This all worked from it knowing my location and amazed me. I now have a clever list of reminders that i can’t believe I never had in my life before.

Other cool new features -

Double tap home on the lock screen to see a button that opens your camera without unlocking your phone.

Edit photos right from the photos app and create and manage your own folders.

Notification center keeps all your push messages in one convenient screen you can pull down from the top at any moment. Finally say goodbye to those hideous popup messages and relish in the beauty of notification center. Plus get a text when your phone is locked, let them list up on your lockscreen but then open a specific one by sliding the actual notification to unlock straight to that app!

iCloud – Games, Apps, iTunes, Emails, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders plus much more now store their data in the cloud. This means you can access them from any device and keep everything in sync everywhere. Games are already using this for save files which means you can carry on where you left off on any one of your devices.

There’s much much more I haven’t covered but I don’t have the time right now. As soon as I do I will continue this write-up. For now what are you waiting for, press the upgrade button and enjoy iOS5!!

I’m Cycling to raise money for SCHOOLinaBAG

I am cycling 25 Miles from Home Farm in Chilthorne Domer to West Bay on Sunday the 9th October to raise money for the Piers Simon Appeal and SCHOOLinaBAG.

Piers Simon Appeal is a disaster relief charity that delivers aid worldwide.

SCHOOLinaBAG is a charity I am now working very closely with and is a simple solution created to help poor, orphan, vulnerable and disaster affected children throughout the world. Each SchoolBag is filled with stationery equipment and resources that will enable a child to write, draw, colour, calculate, express themselves and above all learn.

If you just gave me £1 yeah you’d be shy a chocolate bar but look on the bright side, its less on the hips and your £1 would contribute to my target which if I reach would buy 10 School Bags!

Please support this amazing cause, even if its just to get me in a pair of silly, tight cycling shorts! Im sure there will be pictures!!

Apple Media Event 4th October,


Let's talk iPhone

Apple has just officially announced their media event is to be held on the 4th October at 10.00am PST (Pacific Time)
That’s 6pm for us Brits over the pond.
The event will be held in a much more intimate location on their campus instead of their regular haunt.
This confirms all the rumours and the graphic they are using to advertise it spins some new rumours of its own!
The graphics confirm the date, time and location but there is a strange number 1 on the phone icon. You’d usually see this if you have a missed call. Then theres the strap line “Let’s talk iPhone”
This implies the release of just one iPhone instead of the high end and entry level people are expecting? I for one only ever thought they’d release the one and use the current iPhone to replace the entry level 3GS.
The interesting part for me is the word “Talk” my thoughts on this are it is about the iPhone talking to its user and the user talking to its iPhone. Full voice control so we can talk operations and text messages and it types for us. Likewise it will read them out-loud too!
Not long until the 4th, a week today in-fact. All will be answered then

sM3e.com Launches 2 New Client Websites

Hi folks! I have just launched 2 (yes thats right!) 2 new websites for individual clients this very evening!

Please go and have a look and if you want, or know someone that wants a website created for them get in contact.

I have just launched the SCHOOLinaBAG website for a local charity that comes under the Piers Simon Appeal Umbrella and is about to go National! This was without doubt the biggest project I have taken on to date and understandably it was not completed in a week like most of my other sites. The entire website was designed in Apples iWork (Pages) for me by the client and I was given reams of Tracing Paper and notes as a design specification. As content supply this was fantastic however to code what had been designed on paper to be user friendly and intuitive was very tricky. The website is incredibly professional looking and was not only fun (yet difficult) to create but taught me a lot as I made it. There will be massive updates to this site over the coming year.

This is a site for a local and my first pub client. I hope to take on many more as my Marketing and Sales background is a great help in knowing what is needed and how to promote it. The client is incredibly happy with how “Modern and Young” the site feels and loves how “Snappy and Easy” it is to use. The site was designed entirely from scratch with no templates and is bespoke to this pub to ensure it truly reflects what the pub is like. I loved making this site and look forward to taking on more Pub/Bar/Restaurant clients.

New, Noteworthy and FREE on the AppStore

Hi Guys,

Home poorly at the mo so taking the opportunity to catch up on my site.

This morning GameLofts Asphalt 6 has gone free on the AppStore for a limited time. This is an A* game with high quality graphics and well worth the download.

Next up is FaceBook Messenger. This is a strange additional App to the FaceBook app that purely concentrates on the ability to send and receive messages and receive push notifications when they are received. This is Facebooks rival app for apps like WhatsApp, LiveProfile, Blackberry Messenger and Apples own iMessages launching later this month with iOS5.

There should be an influx of new Apps and updates coming soon to incorporate all the new iOS Gubbings. As they do anything I think that is noteworthy will make its way onto the site
